How to Wear a Velvet Blazer Three Ways
A velvet blazer is one of the most versatile pieces in a man’s wardrobe — refined, modern, and perfect for every occasion from relaxed dinners to black-tie events. Here’s how to wear it three ways.
Smart Casual: A Blue Shirt & Jeans
Pair your black velvet blazer with dark jeans and a crisp blue shirt for an effortlessly stylish look. The contrast of denim and velvet adds depth, while Chelsea boots keep things polished but relaxed. Ideal for dinners or date nights.
Style tip: Leave your shirt untucked for ease, and keep accessories minimal.
Elevated Daywear: White Pants & Black Loafers
For a fresh, confident look, wear your blazer with white trousers and a black shirt. This monochrome pairing feels sophisticated and summer-ready, especially with black loafers.
Style tip: Roll your sleeves and skip the tie for a European-inspired finish.
Black Tie: Classic Formal
For evening wear, pair your velvet blazer with a white dress shirt, black trousers, and a bow tie. The texture of velvet elevates the traditional black-tie look with a modern edge.
Style tip: Keep shoes polished and add simple cufflinks for a timeless finish.
